Navigate 1.2.1 Describe roles and functions in online learning environments

Click here to see an online poster or SIS and LMS system roles.

Just as in face to face school settings there are roles and responsibilities.
Administrators must oversee all instructional practices of an organization, including informing teachers and students about student accounts and tool use, teacher accounts and tool use, course offering schedules, course teaching assignments, and reporting of grades and other data.
Teachers must deliver instruction as well as manage classroom and students. Teachers must provide resources as well as feedback and post grades.
Students must do their share and be proactive in their learning. They have to stay on task to meet deadlines and participate.
Parents and/or guardians also have to monitor student progress if the students are minors.
In some cases teachers create their own content modules but sometimes there are content development personnel to develop content to be used.
Data can be analyzed by the teacher or a separate position may be available for someone to analyze data from the individuals in the course.

While the SIS is a tool to help record data, the LMS is the tool that helps deliver the content.  The systems and the people all work together to create a well oiled machine.
